My nearest and dearest is fairly tolerant, but has an irrational hatred of my jazzy 'Luke' seatbelt pads, and does not like it when I fold the screen down and just use the aeros.....

Took the wife out for her first ride in a Morgan, she wasn’t overly impressed it has to be said  your not alone, I have one of those too It is important that, at least for the first outing of the year, the journey includes as many of the following elements as practicable: - Relatively low speed roads - Picturesque scenery - Skylarks singing as you go - A destination chosen by the reluctant passenger - And this one is the most important - Cake - with cream and chocolate I’ve tried all that and it didn’t work…A trip to the garden centre did work once, but it cost me £1,500 in new patio furniture. Don’t think I’ll bother again.

I dropped mine off at the garage this morning for its MOT. I must confess I haven't driven it more than 150 miles or so since October, and even though I didn't bother to do anything bar leave it in the garage, It still started up fine this morning and all the bits and pieces worked as they should, so I didn't give it a second thought when I left it at the garage for its test.
But when I went to collect it, I was regaled with a strange little tale. They checked the car over and all seemed fine, so they took it down to the testing station whereupon as soon as they got it onto the rollers to test the brakes, they couldn't get the brakes to give a balance within tolerance across the rear axle. They were wondering why this was and what could be the cause, when the engine cut out and absolutely refused to restart. There was a reasonable amount of fuel in the tank, but remembering that I had told them it hadn't had much use lately they decided to chuck a fresh gallon of fuel in anyway, just in case.
As soon as they did that, not only did the car start immediately, but as soon as they tested the brakes again they got the correct balance reading and it passed the test. Go figure, as they say.
So I drove home absolutely promising to give it a decent outing at least once a fortnight. It was probably sulking at being neglected over winter, even though it had a nice warm dry garage to sleep in.

I'm off to the factory tomorrow. Current forecast is -2 degrees when I'm leaving and rain on the way home. I think for marital harmony the roof may be going back on tonight......

I have my own version of SORN.
Salt On Road, NO
Other than that she runs all year round. Especially on those cold bright winter days and we have just had the sunniest March on record.
